From Greg: Renewed in Christ
Recounting one of his personal devotions, Greg Williams rejoices in the gospel truth that, in Christ, God has reconciled all humanity to himself.

Hi Trevor. Yes, these are the lections (readings/lessons) specified for Palm (Passion) Sunday in Year A of the Revised Commmon Lectionary. It also offers Matt. 27:11-54 as an additional or substitute reading to the other Matthew passage. The sermon we’ve provided focues on the passage in Psalms. In some traditions, the Passion of Christ is looked at in the Sunday beginning Holy Week. In others, it is the triumphant entry into Jerusalem (and thus Palm Sunday).
